Consider A Backyard Pond
If you decide that you want to add a larger water feature, attract a wider variety of wildlife, or add an aesthetically pleasing feature to your land, you should consider a wildlife pond. Backyard water gardens and ponds have become increasingly popular in the last few years, and the options are endless. Even with the large array of sizes, shapes, and designs, creating a simple pond can be cost effective and can attract a variety of wildlife. Remember, however, that a wildlife pond is not the same as an ornate water garden you see advertised in garden stores or magazines. The most effective residential ponds assimilate into an informal yard or garden that has trees and shrubs designed to attract wildlife. If you decide that a wildlife pond is right for you, you’ll need to make some decisions before you start digging.
